iOS 6-6.0.1 Jailbreak Update

Some may think an iOS 6 jailbreak is a year away. No, it is not. Several Twitter users claim to have a fully working iOS 6 jailbreak, but at they worth the trust? Don’t take the risk. Be sure to keep an eye on @planetbeing on Twitter. He has an iPhone 5 jailbreak, in case you live under a rock. It is tethered, and considered a “failbreak” meaning it can’t be released to the public, and needs an Apple iOS Developer account. Now, you might be thinking, I have a developer account! However, the only ones that get the jailbreak are developers, hackers, or trusted humans. Also, @MuscleNerd has an iPad mini “failbreak”, using the same exploit (bug in iOS that can be used to install a jailbreak) that David (planetbeing) used in his failbreak. @chpwn also has an iPad 4 failbreak. Same exploit. So, it seems, why don’t they release it?!? The answer is simple. Jailbreaks are hard, and take a lot of time. If you see any jailbreaks that do not come from trusted developers, stay away from them!

You may have noticed a “Dev Team” popping up around Twitter by the name of “ARB Dev Team”. One of its members, Mr_DuNh1ll, posted a fake video on YouTube showing his “jailbreak”. Clearly he has the old Settings icon. However, some may say, one of the members, bassamkassem, is trusted. He ported Siri to iOS 5.1.1 and his port is still available under the name of “[Ac!dSiri]. I can confirm his port is legit and fully working. So is Mr_DuNh1ll just trolling with the old icon, or does he have a jailbreak? You be the judge.

Tweaks Of The Week 11/9/2012

The tweaks this week are...
-CleanActivity
-ForceStatusBar
-NowNow
-RemoveBadges


-Clean Activity

     Clean Activity allows you to change your options in the iOS 6 sharing menu. Its a pretty straight forward tweak its really cool. I do wish that the creator would make more custom options to put into the sharing menu.To install this you must be running iOS 6 or iOS 6.0.1.




-ForceStatusBar

     ForceStatusBar lets you have the status bar showing on full screen applications. Its cool how you can choose which apps have the status bar forced on to it. Also the app interface isn't compressed to fit the status bar is laid on top of the app interface so the screen fits better.

-NowNow

     NowNow basically lets you use the Google Search app voice assistant like Siri which I know sounds lame but it is actually really handy.You just set the voice assistant to an activation and boom!

-RemoveBadges

     Tired of badges well you can now get rid of them with an Activator method with "RemoveBadges". This is a great and handy tweak. It has very simple setting you just choose your activation method, then make your white list (the apps that wont get the badges taken away from them)
